<h1><a name="Tabs"><span class="mw-headline">Tabs</span></a></h1>
<p>The <a href="Panorama_Editor_window.html" class="mw-redirect" title="Panorama Editor window">Panorama Editor window</a> is also "tab" based. Below you see a partial example screen of the <a href="Panorama_Editor_window.html" class="mw-redirect" title="Panorama Editor window">Panorama Editor window</a> showing the tabs with the button bar above them. 
</p><p><img alt="Hugin2013 panorama editor menu.png" src="Hugin2013_panorama_editor_menu.png" decoding="async" width="447" height="97" />
<br style="clear:both;" />
</p>
<h2><a name="Photos"><span class="mw-headline">Photos</span></a></h2>
<p>The <a href="Hugin_Photos_tab.html" title="Hugin Photos tab">Photos tab</a> is used to:
</p>
<ul><li>Manage the images in a Hugin project</li>
<li>Edit the positions of the images in the final panorama</li>
<li>Edit the lens settings</li>
<li>Edit photometrics settings</li>
<li>Edit/Create stacks</li></ul>
<h2><a name="Masks"><span class="mw-headline">Masks</span></a></h2>
<p>Often photos contain parts which should not be used in the final panorama (e.g. moving objects);
alternatively you may need to specifically include a distinctive feature (e.g. persons) in the final panorama.
</p><p>The <a href="Hugin_Mask_tab.html" title="Hugin Mask tab">Masks tab</a> allows you to mask these areas for inclusion or exclusion from the stitched panorama.
</p>
<h2><a name="Control_Points"><span class="mw-headline">Control Points</span></a></h2>
<p><a href="Hugin.html" title="Hugin">Hugin</a> stitches panoramas by matching identical features in different
overlapping photos. These features are defined by <i>pairs</i> of <a href="Control_points.html" title="Control points">control points</a>.
The <a href="Hugin_Control_Points_tab.html" title="Hugin Control Points tab">Control Points tab</a> shows two photos at a time and allows
you to manually create and edit any pair of <b>control points</b>.
</p><p>In addition to the <b>Control Points tab</b>, the <a href="Hugin_Control_Points_table.html" title="Hugin Control Points table">Control Points table</a>
is used to manage pairs of <b>control points</b>.
</p><p><b>Control points</b> can be created automatically in the <b>Align</b> section
of the <a href="Hugin_Assistant_tab.html" title="Hugin Assistant tab">Assistant tab</a> or with the <b>Feature Matching</b> section
of the <a href="Hugin_Photos_tab.html" title="Hugin Photos tab">Photos tab</a>.
</p>
<h2><a name="Optimiser"><span class="mw-headline">Optimiser</span></a></h2>
<p>If you look at the partial screen on showing the <a href="Hugin_Panorama_Editor_window.html#Tabs" title="Hugin Panorama Editor window">Tabs</a> you do not see the <a href="Hugin_Optimiser_tab.html" title="Hugin Optimiser tab">Hugin Optimiser tab</a>. This is because the Optimiser tab is only displayed when using the Custom parameters for Geometric Optimisation on the <a href="Hugin_Photos_tab.html" title="Hugin Photos tab">Photos tab</a>.
</p>
<h2><a name="Exposure"><span class="mw-headline">Exposure</span></a></h2>
<p>If you look at the partial screen on showing the <a href="Hugin_Panorama_Editor_window.html#Tabs" title="Hugin Panorama Editor window">Tabs</a> you do not see the <a href="Hugin_Exposure_tab.html" title="Hugin Exposure tab">Hugin Exposure tab</a>. This is because the Exposure tab is only displayed when using the Custom parameters for Photometric Optimisation on the <a href="Hugin_Photos_tab.html" title="Hugin Photos tab">Photos tab</a>.
</p>
<h2><a name="Stitcher"><span class="mw-headline">Stitcher</span></a></h2>
<p>The end result of a Hugin project is an image file containing a panorama. The final <a href="Hugin_Stitcher_tab.html" title="Hugin Stitcher tab">Stitcher tab</a> is where size and quality are set and where this output file is created.
